Willowwind: Back! SEE? I POSTED IN A WEEK! (snicker) Fall off your chair in surprise. You know who you are.
Legolas: ...
Willowwind: (gasp) He didn't say anything! (falls off her chair)
Legolas: Very funny.
Willowwind: I thought so. Now...reviews!
Reviews:
Waffles4eva: I updated. Oh, and about the length of the fic, I wouldn't worry about compromising the quality. I have an idea for continuing it. It won't be much longer than 4 chapters, but enough. 'Tis a better idea, too. I like it. And there'll probably be a sequel anyways.
OneWhoWalksWithPigeons: Heh... (sweatdrops) Okay, I'll make it longer. NOW WHERE'S MY CROISSANT? Ahem. Kacheek? Do you play on Neopets?
Pikpik246: Forever? (dies) But I think I'll make it longer.Her Sweetness: (mutter) Not my fault updates take forever. If my parents hadn't put the stupid BAN on computer time... But it's gone now, so I have more time to write. Plus, there's no exams.
Computerfreak101: Yes...I plan on keeping the fic longer...but it'll end sooner or later. And then, unless I am completely sick of YuGiOh and fanfiction, there will be a sequel. And I reviewed that one fic. Happy now?
My Seto: Uh...them? I kinda didn't bring them in to be muses. See, my Legolas isn't the actual one...he's a muse who looks like Legolas. And I don't have the other muses. And it's Aragorn. There.
bakura's soulmate: Waitasec. If you read this fic a year ago...I don't believe I've even been on ff.n for a year. Ah well, I get your meaning. Glad you found it again! Thanks!
Nachzes Black-Rider: I know you're not going to be reading this until there's a whole lot of other chappies, too, but anyhoo...(falls off chair) YOU ACTUALLY WANT ME TO CONTINUE? (faints) As to our Plan, it kinda...didn't fit in just yet. And it might not for a while. But by the time you're reading this, it'll probably already be up. Unless you find a computer in France. If so, how is it over there? If not, how WAS it over there?
Puzzlie: Yeah...I rush chappies sometimes. It's a bad habit. But now that I know that readers know when I rush, maybe I'll stop. Maybe. Thanks for reviewing!
DreamCherry66: Hm...what makes you think that Bakura and co. WON'T take over the world in THIS fic? But I'm gonna make it longer, and I'm probably gonna make a sequel. Thank you for reviewing!
Willowwind: There. That takes care of that.
Legolas: Shorter. SHORTER, I SAY!
Willowwind: Yups. That's right. In case I haven't already told you, I'm keeping the fic longer. I figure it'll be around 20 chapters. And then there'll probably be a sequel.
Legolas: (whacks head repeatedly on wall)
Willowwind: Ah, he'll get over it. So...roll fic!
Disclaimer: Answer something for me. If I owned it, WHY would I be writing fanfiction about it?
Warnings: Ryou's mad...
The Secret Journal of Bakura the Great
Chapter Twelve
I glanced around as we were lead into a room, looking for any valuables that might need...liberating...later on. Our host motioned for us to sit down at a rectangular wooden table. I sat immediately, but the pharaoh didn't. He stood by the table, glaring daggers at everyone and muttering something about the Shadow Realm being too good for us.
"Sit!" Our host motioned for Yami to sit down. Slowly, he obeyed, still muttering.
"So...I suppose you are wondering what I brought you here for?" he asked. I gave a nod, keeping my face impassive. "Well, gentlemen, I have a proposal for you. Recently, I became aware of your plan to take over the world." Yami stopped muttering and stared at our host like he was crazy. "At first, I was thinking of stopping you, as I also had a plan for world domination, and you might have gotten in my way. But then I thought, why make enemies when, together, you could be stronger as a team?"
"So you wish for us to join you in your...venture." I stated. He nodded, smirking.
"Will you join me?"
"It's a possibility. I would have to discuss it with my partners here, somewhere...alone?"
"Of course." He stood. "Follow me."
I picked up Bakura and followed, motioning for Yami to follow as well. To my surprise, he did. "Here you are." Our host opened a door for us, and then left, closing the door behind himself. Then the pharaoh pounced.
"TOMB ROBBER! I SHALL BURN YOU ALIVE AND SENTENCE YOUR ASHES TO THE SHADOW REALM FOR THIS!"
"Hm, you've had time to think about this, haven't you?"
"I SHALL NOT BE CAUGHT UP IN ANY UNDERHANDED SCHEME TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!"
"If you wouldn't mind, I'd very much appreciate if you'd turn your volume down a bit."
"I WON'T! I'M LEAVING!"
"You might have some difficulty with that."
"YOU WISH!" He strode over to the door and tried turning the knob. It was locked.
"There. Now that we all know that we're stuck, maybe we can talk about this like civilized people." The pharaoh marched back over, a vein throbbing in his forehead.
"Very good. So, what do you think of this?" I asked Bakura. He looked thoughtful for a moment, then rocked his head back and forth, showing indecision. Then he gave Yami a very hard stare.
I translated. "You think it might not be a bad idea, but you'd prefer to work without him, because you think he'll completely take over. And you don't think Yami should be in this, because he'd ruin everything." Bakura nodded. "Maybe you're right. I'd also prefer to work alone, but he might have access to resources that we couldn't possibly get on our own. But as for Yami...he stays. Now that he knows what we're doing, he'll probably try to save the world. So, as harmful as he may be to our plot, he's less harmful here than not on our team, working to stop us."
"I AM NOT ON YOUR TEAM, AND I SHALL SAVE THE WORLD FROM YOU AND YOUR EVIL PLOT! AND THEN I WILL MAKE YOU RUE THE DAY YOU WERE BORN!"
"Of course you will," I remarked absently. Then I began talking to the bunny. "So...should we take his offer? We could always figure out a way to...put him in his place...if he tries taking control..." Bakura nodded, grinning evilly. I turned back to Yami.
"I'm sorry, Pharaoh, but you've been outvoted."
"I WAS ONCE RULER OF ANCIENT EGYPT! I SHALL MAKE THE FINAL DECISION!"
"Welcome to the present, Pharaoh. It's called DEMOCRACY."
"I don't like it." Yami pouted.
"Nor does anyone. Democracy is a way to make sure everyone is equally unhappy. Now come on." I walked over to the door. "We've come to our decision," I called. Our host opened the door.
"We have agreed to join you, but under some conditions. First, we will all have an equal say in the decisions that are made. Also, neither me or any of my partners will be put alone into life-threatening situations, or used as bait. Do we have an accord?"
"We do indeed, gentlemen." He held out his hand, and I shook it.
"Wonderful. You have now gone from being my adversaries...to being my prisoners. Guards! Take them away." Yami Malik smirked as we were dragged off.
OoOoOoO
Ryou glanced around anxiously. Their performance was on in five minutes, and Yugi still wasn't there. And they couldn't exactly do their act without him, as he was one of the two lead singers...
"'Ey, Ryou! Is Yug' 'ere yet?"
"No. I wonder what's keeping him..." Ryou took out my cell phone and dialed his home number. No one picked up.
'What could be keeping him? Wait a second...' The hikari's eyes narrowed in suspicion as he dialed his own home number. If Bakura was there, he would pick up, and pretend that he was some obscure store to make people think they called the wrong number. Four rings. No one picked up. The answering machine came on.
"Bakura..." Ryou muttered. Then he began shouting through the mind link.
'BAKURA!'
'...Yes, hikari?'
'WHERE ARE YOU?'
'Um...at home?''THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER THE PHONE?'
'B-because...you told me not to?''And you thought I'd get mad at you?'
'Yes.'
'How did you know it was me?'
'Uh...caller ID?'
'One. We don't HAVE caller ID. Two. YOU CAN'T READ!'
'Uh...so?''WHERE ARE YOU?'
'I was kidnapped.'
'WHERE ARE YOU NOW?'
'I don't know.'
'Is Yugi with you?'
'...Maybe.'
'HE'S THERE?'
'Yup. They kidnapped him, too.'
'Who did?'
'Yami Malik.'
'Are you at Ishizu's house, then?'
'No.'
'I'm going to come find you. AND THEN YOU'LL WISH YOU'D DIED PROPERLY BACK IN EGYPT!'
And with that threat, Ryou shut the mental link. Then he turned to the rest of the gang. "Come on. Yugi and my yami are in trouble. We have to go help them."
"But what about the performance?" Tristan asked.
"It'll have to wait. We have to go. Come on." Ryou grabbed his car keys and exited the school auditorium, followed by the others.
OoOoOoO
Stupid tomb keeper. I knew I couldn't trust him. Why didn't I listen to myself?
So...status report. Bakura-bunny is trying to tunnel out of the dirt floor of the room we're in. The pharaoh is currently looking for heavy objects to whack me with. I am writing, and trying to use my great brain to think of a way out. And trying to keep the mind link with Ryou closed.
Just for this, I shall escape, and I shall take over the world before the tomb keeper! And after that, I shall sentence the tomb keeper to the Shadow Realm and destroy the item that he's in. I don't know if that'd make him gone from the Shadow Realm completely, but I don't really care. Just as long as he's gone and can't come back.
In fact...why don't I steal some weapons from Yami Malik? I could take some thins, and use them to take over the world!
Now Yami's muttering something about how he'd like to kill democracy with his bare hands... Oh! I think I could use that to get him to join us! I could just tell him th
(HUGE scribble)
Yami found something to whack me over the head with. What is it?
AAH! A HAMBURGER FLIP
(scribble)
Hamburger flipper. Must run. More later. Hopefully.
OoOoOoO
Willowwind: (stare) I finished the whole thing! In just a few hours! WHILE talking on MSN!
Legolas: And WHILE ignoring the fact that you're supposed to be doing your chores.
Willowwind: I'll do them later, Conscience. Now I must post this! Please leave a review before you go?
